Starter Guide

For those who've never played a Lego game before, this Starter Guide will show the basics of navigating the different play modes and Hub Worlds and finding Collectibles. For those who've played previous Lego outings this guide will catch players up with the newer and somewhat complex features that are introduced in Lego Hobbit.

The game features sixteen story-based chapters (and one bonus chapter). Each chapter must first be played in "Story Mode". A story mode play through offers a limited number of characters for use, and players will find many Collectibles to be unobtainable. Once a chapter has been completed in Story Mode, it becomes unlocked for Free Play.

Free Play puts players back into a chapter, but offers the freedom to switch between any characters the player has unlocked/purchased. Players may also choose to only play certain sections of the chapter.
